Thanks Aaron. I'm not quite there yet. I did what you suggested, and got
some weird results. I tried clicking "Finish Without Test" and nothing
appeared to happen. I switched to the Server tab and oddly, nothing was
displayed there at all, no activity. I fired up NitrOS9 on my Coco and
did a "dir /x0" and got a Read Error. I think I may be running into
another, perhaps unrelated problem.
